    It blows my mind that centuries-old concepts “let’s not jump to hasty conclusions” and “people should be free to protest the government but not break the law” just got called “flaming progressive”.

    edit: Sorry, now I see what you’re saying, that those were some points that pull people from across the aisle.

      Oh yeah. He started as a moderate, but has turned incredibly and wonderfully progressive.

      And more importantly, effective.

      Edit: a large part of it is that he’s very good at communicating the ”why”. And he’s genuine and sincere. He can pull moderates and the unicorn undecideds in, while also getting progressives very energized.

      Love him. (Also I’m excited for Peggy. First Native American gov, first woman in mn to be gov. And she’ll have 2 years for people to get over it while shoe shopping for even bigger shoes.)
